Weekend Roundup: Ironman to Eugene and everything in between, big weekend for the Hardloop Crew!
Update from Tri Coach @martydeason :
Dayne Jordan - Galveston 70.3. - Dayne put together a solid effort across the board to net a 9 min PR for Galveston 70.3.
Split times were:
Swim: 37:13
Bike: 2:39:43 - 21 mph avg
Run: 1:42:32 - sub 8:00/mile pace
Dayne moved up 19 places in his AG with his strong 1:42 half marathon!
Anthony Jordan - Ironman Texas - AJ took on his first full Ironman and ended up with a strong debut of 9:46:07. AJ overcame a taper week illness (touch and go on morning of the race), hamstring issues on the run, and crushed his first full.
Split times were:
Swim: 1:10:40
Bike: 5:18:22 - 21 mph avg
Run: 3:09:14- 7:11/mile pace
AJ started the run in 44th position in a very fast Age group. After the 6th fastest run in the AG, he moved up to 19th in AG. Great way to finish the first attempt at this distance @sportyjordans !
Both of these Hardloop athletes showed that a well-executed race plan capped by a fast run results excellent races!!
Congratulations Dayne and AJ on the fantastic races!!!
Coach @CalNeff threw down on the anchor leg of the @harraruns Bayou Bash Relay averaging 4:55/mi for over 2 miles to help the Houston elite squad @spacecityrunningclub take the win.
Congrats to all our Eugene Marathon and Half Marathon runners today, quite a few PR’s and breakthrough performances. The marathon MVP goes to @lightfoot.hayden with an impressive 2:45 in oppressive conditions at the @gostlouis Marathon for a PR and 10th overall! Plenty more race result updates to come.
